1. other microphones work but the quality is bad
2. volume control works as expected
3. Webcam works just no sound.
4. when i go on zoom or discord there is no available inputs

the internal mic used to work but then I had to do some update and now its not.

Is there a chance that there is some config file that is blocking something? like i made some kind of setting in a config file that is making this happen?

sorry if this is dumb but i can’t see where on that second link it gives a fix?

I’m a bit confused could you explain further?

The thing that’s weird is that my mic used to work just fine!

thats good to know. thank you so much!

I tried and it didn’t do anything :( I am curious if i did something wrong with setting up wireplumber vs pipewire or pulseaudio or something?

I’m trying to see if maybe i’ve done something where I have pipewire, pulseaudio, wireplumber all set up at the same time? I also don’t really understand the difference between them

even with an internal microphone?

There’s no option. they are greyed out.

not a dumb question. I do and thankfully I checked that to see its not turned on :)

I had a hard time answering these because my opinion on cloud service depends on the cloud. (Google vs nextcloud for instance)
